Yes; an inspiration. Worked for Canberra.
Still no idea on the name though, other than London Somethings. (Wanderers or Rovers would be accurate but don't see them working. Though, come to think of it, now that HKR have become HKA, maybe we should become the new Rovers?)'"
If the club stay at The Stoop I think the West London Rangers would be a good name. Having said that the Thames Valley Titans is a great shout. |

West London Rangers? Really?
Some of these names, that one in particular, remind me of the half time heroes that would get a run out at half time at Griffin Park.
They were normally 8-11 years old for those who aren't aware btw. |

If we let these people win then it is the end of our club in London, it is pointless going into the championship Skolars and their 300 fans is no advertisement, though some northern legend name clubs get little more attending. '"
Please tell me you are not suggesting that loyal wonderful supporters of this game and this club in whatever guise have actually stopped attending matches because of messages posted on a message board? because if that is what you are suggesting the persecution complex has really taken over and you should seek medical advice at the soonest opportunity. |

You were not much older as I recall  and they were entertaining. |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

| I have written to the club just to make sure that rupe1 and his hoardes of stay aways arent the reason for this re-naming. 
Seriously, to say Harlequins RL has failed without asking the neighbours over for a look-see would be insane IMO. |

Here we go again! the simplest form of debate is attack and try to demean someone! how big! I never said that if you read again, anyway has Our Clubs Forum has ever more than say 100 regular contributors our of say 3,000? shows how it is a real reflection of opinion LOL!
I said the way some people here over the years have tried or attempted to bully has driven some fans away, it is so easy to be a bully when you do not know the person fully or have face to face contact.
Writing to the club by someone and telling them ignore some peoples opinions! well I will leave that to those who read to come to an opinion about! and the few always like to knock me! LOL! at least I have my own opinions and if I am wrong I am willing to admit it! I do not need numbers like the gang to back me up and my opinion is as relevans as anyone else's |

Late to the party, but ...
Quins RL at the Stoop, and if not at the Stoop, London something, not bothered what.
Broncos were hardly the most recognised team before we became Quins, so see no difference.

THE ONLY WAY TO GET SMARTER IS BY PLAYING A SMARTER OPPONENT
How you expect to run with the wolves come night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_34025.png |

| Quote: The Lambeth Quin "heres my 2d worth, if it's worth that much.......................
1. We stay Harlequins RL.
2. We stay at The Stoop.
3. New regime pursue policy of gaining a 50/50 ownership of the Stoop with HFC. From all accounts they could do with the money.
4. Engage with the 2m or so people who live in the surrounding areas as prospective new customers.'"
I'm quite sure that would be the worst use of our money unless we are about to become the next Man City or Chelsea, and in that case I would welcome the outright purchase of the Stoop. A seven figure investment in facilities would be a welcome one, but it would almost certainly be at the cost of improving the playing staff without moving forwards off it, only improving our yearly outgoings on rent and transferring them to probably paying off interest. |

We were known as the Fulham Bears in the 1980s so I put down London Bears as an option. It offers continuation from our birth in 1980, and is an animal that has existed in England, whereas the Bronco is synonymous with South Eastern USA and Mexico. It would allow us to tap into our former existence and have either a home or away kit in the red, black and white, then utilise the well liked Bronco colours of red, blue, yellow and white.
A Bear would also give us something ferocious and masculine as people that I work with have said a few of the names sounded like girls dance groups; London Blitz, London Lions, London Storm, etc whilst others have or have in the past been names for other sporting organisations. The London Bears to the best of my knowledge would not be a legal problem either, www.londonbears.co.uk hasn't even been taken by anyone.
The issues that I can see are that Buck and Dusty may have to have a sacrificed as Bears are wikiality.wikia.com/Bears Godless killing machines and the Chicago Bears may well put us in the same boat as the Broncos with regards to actually using the name on the shirt. Bears is a gay thing apparently, so that may diversify our crowds or lead to a few people turning up and being disappointed.
Bears have rugby league links with the North Sydney club, the NRL franchise bid from the Central Coast Bears and the Russian national team that we as a club played against in our renowned tour of 20 years ago.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

For me Bears just brings back memories of the rather odd few months when Paul Faires owned the club - not a happy association (or time).

I would be perfectly happy with the name "Bears". Also, it seems that you've got opinion from people not familiar with the game who think it's a good brand name....so if the majority of other "non-believers" have the same opinion, Bears would work for me.....Hey, we could save money and use the Quins RU mascot with a different shirt ;-p
I said on the survey, and I think its important, that the kit looks sylish...I'm happy for red, yellow and blue or black and white...heck orange and black...not too bothered....my main concern is that it looks good. If it does, people will buy it (some even who don't support the team) - much like people who buy NRL shirts or foregin RU or football shirts. That is money coming into the club and boy do we need it!!
The club also need to get a good design company to create the badge/logo and strip...this then needs to be surveyed by the fans so that we get the best possible product.
Then....then all we need to do is the simple task of getting a winning team (nice and easy - not!)
